STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR 2 of 3 Petitioner appeals the 2026 true cash value, SEV, and taxable value as excessive. The property is Petitioner's principal residence, classified residential. For 2026 the assessor set the SEV and taxable value at $330,400, which the March Board of Review reduced to $322,500. That SEV implies a true cash value of $645,000, which overstates the property's actual market value. Petitioner purchased the property in an arm's-length transaction that closed June 20, 2025 for $599,900. It was listed on the open market January 31, 2025 at $675,000 and sold for $599,900 after nearly five months of exposure and several price reductions — establishing that $599,900 is the property's true cash value, roughly six months before the December 31, 2025 Tax Day governing the 2026 assessment. Petitioner contends the true cash value was $599,900, producing an SEV and taxable value of $299,950, and requests the assessment be reduced accordingly. Jurisdictional Issues: Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review? Yes If Yes, check which Board of Review you attended: March If No, please check the applicable reason(s): Year(s) Under Appeal: 2026 Valuation Information for Each Parcel under Appeal: Parcel Number: 23-07-12-205-003 Classification of Property: Real (check one) Residential (check one) Current Assessed Value as established by the Board of Review: 322500 Current Taxable Value as established by the Board of Review: 322500 What do you believe is the fair market value? 599900 Multiply the True Cash Value by .5 and enter here. This is your contention of Assessed Value. 299950 If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value. 299950
